The deliciously dark new thriller from bestselling YA author Josh Silver

The deliciously dark new thriller from award-winning YA author Josh Silver, perfect for fans of Black Mirror and Holly Jackson.

'A visceral and gripping thriller ... you have no choice but to follow Eli into Traumaland.' Lex Croucher, author of Gwen & Art Are Not in Love

Welcome to TraumaLand. You are now Jack.

Your story will start in 3... 2... 1...

Eli has been in a near-fatal accident, which has left him with no memory and no emotions. According to his therapist, he suffers from an Overwhelming Emptiness.

Desperate to feel something again, Eli winds up at TraumaLand, an underground club where crowds of emotionally numb party-goers seek a new thrill. Through hyper-real virtual reality simulations, they can experience nightmarish events happening to other people.

But when Eli immerses himself in Jack's story, he starts to suspect there may be a darker - more dangerous - truth to the club.

Josh Silver trained as an actor at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and went on to perform in the West End and on Broadway. After deciding to change careers, Josh now works with teenagers as a mental health nurse. Josh lives in Manchester. HappyHead was his first book and has been shortlisted for the YA Book Prize and nominated for the Carnegie Medal.
